If we had to skip Windows 9 because of terrible version string checks...

If we had to skip Windows 9 because of terrible version string checks, does that mean we'll have to skip Windows 20 (2000 match) and 30-39 (3.x match) too?

Windows won't exist by then. The Spyware will be directly implanted into our cortex at birth

Windows 10 is the last version of Windows.

Moar leah

I thought we skipped it because the Indians that they hired to code it botched the job.
Did my wacky relative bullshit me?

This. Just like OS X has been stuck at version 10 for the last 15 years, it'll just keep getting continual updates going forward.

yeah and if you believe that I got a bridge to sell you

Somewhat related note, I thought they should've made a Windows 9 for RT. Didn't get much play, but it'd be good not to burn those customers. It wouldn't run anything not from the store anyways, so software from 98 won't bother it. But I run Linux, so no I don't care either way.

naw, Windows 9 was skipped because it'd match in version string checks looking for any version of Windows 9x. Instead of checking for 95 OR 98 OR 98SE they just checked for "Windows 9"

Stallman has made your mind very sick. Consider a therapist next time you try to mingle among the other people.

Naw, that was the excuse but really they didn't want to be seen as inferior to OS10 (9

Okay, pajeet. I'm sure your shit street mingling is great

I'm American. Funny jab. (not really)

Forgot to mention, I'm white, anglo-saxon USA patriot. How about yourself, shit stain?

As long as the incompetent pajeets keep implementing the horrible version checks.

I love how programs from the fucking 90s will run with a modern linux kernel just fine but windows is such shit they have to skip versions to retain compatbility
How did unix lose again?

>If we had to skip Windows 9 because of terrible version string checks

We didn't. Anyone that actually believes that is literally a fucking retard.

...

Windows's "major release" model is gone.

It's rolling releases here on out.

Enjoy the tablet UI shit.

Not him, but you are a true retard, stupid americunt !
>Yavhe bless America.

you arnt going to be alive for any of that so dont worry about it

>implying the decision was anything but bullshit marketing wank

>skip Windows 9 because of terrible version string checks

That was a bullshit reason. People posted search results from snippet repositories claiming it proved their point, but every one of them was a duplicate of one, completely irrelevant, ancient piece of code.

The reason they made it Windows 10 was for marketing. That is the reason that Microsoft does everything it ever does. "Rebranding efforts" and marketing hand-waving instead of consumer-facing innovation. That's the name of the game in Redmond.

>last
you spelled "worst" wrong.

>white anglo-saxon
>USA patriot
I feel bad for you

Does 10 even have any significant improvements over 8 except for the skin change?

I think there are improvements relevant to sysadmins. I've heard there are minor performance tweaks. Oh, and I think DirectX 12 is only on Win10.
